"Kodoshi! Come here!"

Kodoshi grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed her big mouth as she yelled, trying to avoid choking on the chips, "Yes mom?!"

She typed fast on the computer to her friend Kamie. "Got to go…" she mumbled as she typed.

"NOW KODOSHI!:

Kodoshi ran into the kitchen when she saw her mom pop out from under the bar.

In her right hand was a clear plastic bag and a duster in her left hand.

"Mom, you wanted me to come in here just to watch you do your spring cleaning?"

"Kodoshi, it's in the middle of winter."

"Then what do you need me for?"

"I want you to clean your room."

"MOM! But-"

"No buts. Now, your room looks like a typhoon hit it."

"Well, if I clean it, I loose my organization, and if I loose my organization, then I loose EVERYTHING!"

Kodoshi's mom looked at her with those glossy blue eyes that Kodoshi inherited as Kodoshi's mom handed her the duster and the trash bag. "Just go clean your room without all the complaining!"

Kodoshi rolled her eyes as she slammed her room and jumped on her bed.

"Well," Kodoshi whimpered, "better get started."

She slowly and lazily got out of the bed and crawled in a tiny crawl space under her bed.

As she rubbed her hands over the things under her bed, she felt something that felt like snakeskin but had two tips and a bind.

Curiosity made her pull it out as she adjusted her knees to view the book.

When she tugged it out, she discovered that it was dusty and had old fading print on the cover.

What was it doing under her bed?

When Kodoshi opened it, she noticed that it had ancient looking pages with pictures and descriptions that went to ever little detail.

The book's name was "Demons in Feudal Japan".

Kodoshi wiped the dust off. Weird name if you ask me.

She flipped through the ancient pages. It looks old, it smells twice as bad.

Kodoshi scrolled down the index with her finger, hoping she would find something worth her time reading. Then, her finger slipped by the words DOG DEMONS. Doggies! How cute would they be?

As she flipped through the pages, she found the half dog demons section. There, a boy who looked in pretty good shape; well built; had long silver hair with beads around his neck, amber eyes, and…dog ears?! "Woo-hoo!" Kodoshi whistled in disbelief. He looks SO FINE!

Then she looked back up at the ears. Except for the ears, I could go without that.

Underneath the picture was in big captions to emphasize the word MALE. "Uh, what about a girl. Hope they look as good."

The next page was the picture she was looking for, but it wasn't what she expected. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

In the picture was basically the same scene as the other picture, white hair, amber eyes, dog ears, but there was something crazy…

"WHY AM I IN THERE?!?!?!?"

"MOM!!!!!"

"Yes… dear?" her mother panted as she rested on her daughter's door hedge.

"Why does this demon look like me?"

"Is the air conditioning on? There is no way on earth… wait, did you say demon?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh Lord!" her mother exhaled deeply and put her head down in exhaustion.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't believe I never told you this. Listen, in the Feudal Era in Japan, our ancestors were powerful demons. You probably won't believe me, but, it's true. It's in your blood. She looks familiar. Oh, right, I named you after her… Kodoshi."

"Oh boy!" Kodoshi got nervous as she flipped to the boy half demon.

"What about him?" Kodoshi asked as she pointed to the picture.

"I think that he is that Inuyasha, the other one of your ancestors.

"I'm getting confused!"

"He lived 500 years ago, so actually, you really don't need to know anything about him… until you get your room cleaned."

When Kodoshi's mom left the room, Kodoshi held the book close to her chest and squeezed her eyes shut, wish as if she was wishing upon a shooting star, "I wish I could see what he is, what I have in my blood."

She put the book down and flopped in bed, crossing her arms as she lay down. Kodoshi finally got off her bed and went cleaning her room floor.

Suddenly, she noticed a flash of yellow bright light and lifted her head to the direction she set her book down, only to discover the book had transformed into a circle of light. The pictures through the light were very vague, but she realized that the pictures were turning rapidly until they slowed down and showed the familiar photograph that her wish involved- Inuyasha.

Then, the yellow glow that was surrounding the book came together, colliding and causing a sonic boom noise.

Kodoshi screamed for her mom, but it was useless. The lion-like roar kept vibrating against the walls, causing into to every once in a few seconds make crashing sounds like thunder during a hurricane.

All of a sudden, the noise started producing whirl-wind like force, lifting Kodoshi off her feet and into the book.

Sorry this part had little to do with Inuyasha, but I promise that it will have a lot to do with him in the other one. Sorry! G2G! R&R pleaze!
